Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now in its 32nd year, Formula SAE provides the real-world challenges of systems engineering, design and problem solving, along with the teaming challenges of collaboration and cooperation. The Formula Electric competition, in its second year, offers a unique set of skills and learning opportunities related to the burgeoning electric powertrain technologies. In short, Formula SAE competitions, along with all of the SAE Collegiate Design Series™ competitions, provide the skills and experiences needed for a well-rounded engineering education. In addition to learning, Formula SAE also provides a unique form of competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from many different nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills. The students will work hard and compete to win. Some will win first place, others will not. But all will leave here winners because they will be better engineering students. Good luck to all who are competing in this event. Also, I want to thank everyone for their hard work, support, volunteerism and participation. The experiences and learning you gain this weekend will last throughout your lives. Sincerely, Daniel M. Hancock President, SAE International SOLIDWORKS EDUCATION PROGRAM Designed in SolidWorks by Aldebaran Robotics. www.solidworks.com/education 3D Design, Simulation, Documentation, Engineering Analysis Software 1 table of contents: Concept of the Competition................... 2 Schedule......................... 4 Awards............................ 7 MIS Teams listed by Country..................... 8 Team Information...... 10 Key Players..................52 MIS Site Map................55 Ad Index.......................54 Sponsors.....................IBC Concept of the Competition The Formula SAE® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formula style, competition vehicle. To give teams the maximum design flexibility and the freedom to express their creativity and imaginations there are very few restrictions on the overall vehicle design. Teams typically spend eight to twelve months designing, building, testing and preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitions themselves give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creation and their engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world. Registered for this event are 80 Internal Combustion Teams and 20 Electric Teams from colleges and universities. The end result is a great experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity of working in a dedicated team effort. For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended sales market is the nonprofessional weekend competitor. Therefore, the car must have very high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced by other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. The manufacturing firm is planning to produce four (4) cars per day for a limited production run. The challenge to the design team is to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these goals and intents. Each design will be compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best overall car. Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including: technical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performance trials, and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well the car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations. Static Events: Design Report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from the automotive and motorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the design is to evaluate the engineering effort that went into the design of the car and how the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the best use of engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team members will win the design event. Cost Report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will follow the prototype. The cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The objective of the event is for the participants to learn and understand the manufacturing techniques and processes of some of the components that they have chosen to purchase rather than fabricate themselves. Presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop and deliver a comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of a fake manufacturing firm that the team’s design best meets the demands of the amateur weekend competition market and that it can be profitably manufactured and marketed. 2 Dynamic Events: Acceleration: The cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities from a standing start over a distance of 75 meters. Autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars. The course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking and cornering into one event. The results of the Autocross scores determine the starting order for endurance. Skid-Pad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while making a constant-radius turn. The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of the number 8; the cars demonstrate how good lateral forces can be absorbed (up to 1.4g). Endurance: Over a distance of 22 km the cars have to prove their durability under long-term conditions. Acceleration, speed, handling, dynamics, fuel efficiency, reliability – the cars have to prove it all.

The team utilized the successful design aspects of previous cars, while also implementing many significant changes for this season. The car runs a new single cylinder motor for improved performance, has a unidirectional carbon fiber monocoque chassis, integrated CV/hubs, a full aerodynamics package with a dynamic drag reduction system, a two-way telemetry system for real-time data acquisition, a tightly packaged drivetrain system that focuses on ease of manufacture and assembly, carbon fiber wheel shells, and a new suspension system that utilizes ten inch tires and has been designed to maximize adjustability. Improving the analysis, manufacturing, and physical validation of all parts is a focus for this year. With one of the earliest assembly completions in recent team history, ample time has been spent testing and tuning the car for ultimate speed, reliability, and overall success. After Lincoln, the team will compete outside the United States at Formula Student Germany. AU-2014 utilizes a hybrid front monocoque and rear space frame chassis design to yield optimal vehicle dynamics, packaging, and overall reliability. The robust, efficient and powerful Yamaha R6 is used to power AU-2014. The decision to retain the R6 powerplant was made due to the reliability, driver-friendly torque, and efficiency that the team has extracted from the motor in AU-2014’s predecessors. The R6 motor combined with an all-new monocque design and 10 in. wheels yields a superior power to weight ratio, and gives AU-2014 an advantage over the competition at the track and in the market-place.

The following goals were created by the team preceding the design process: improvement of component serviceability, initial development of an aerodynamics package, and a 10 lb weight reduction (without wings) from our previous model, F2013. We placed an emphasis on validating design simulation through real-world testing. Based off of the successes of previous models, F2014 runs a naturally aspirated Suzuki LT-R 450cc single cylinder engine, steel axles, and 10 inch wheels. Integrating last year’s chassis packaging with improvements in the suspension and engine systems, the introduction of an aerodynamics package as well as building on a successful history in static events, we hope to have created a car which continues to perform aggressively across all events in the FSAE competition. 11 10 University of South Florida Universidade Estadual de Campinas FSAE-Unicamp Unicamp proudly presents the F2013, this is the 6th vehicle design and manufactored by the brazilian team, based by the concept of reliability, performance and low cost, the car features a HSLA steel tubular frame housing a fine tuned Yamaha YZF R6 engine driven by 13” wheels. Supporting design decisions on previous prototypes experiences and validations enabled improvements for the current vehicle on every feature, making it a significant step up. Therefore this year the team expects even better results on the competition. We would like to thank all our sponsors, university and family for all their support. Everyone at USF Racing would like to take the time to thank all of our sponsors for their continued support of our team.

Make it Simple. Easy to Manufacture. 24 23 Polytechnique Montréal Middle Tennessee State University MTSU Motorsports For the 2014 Formula SAE competition, Middle Tennessee State University is making a comeback into FSAE. The primary goal this year was to build a reliable car that will be the platform for future teams to learn from for years to come. MTSU has built a car that offers a robust yet lightweight space frame constructed of 4130 Chromoly tubing. The 2005 Yamaha YFZ 450 engine being used this year has been converted from a carbureted system over to a custom fuel injection system utilizing an AEM EMS 4 engine management system that reads off of a custom fabricated 12 minus 1 reluctance sensor wheel that has been machine press fitted onto the flywheel. Drivability is optimized by using a Rekluse tunable slipper clutch in order to facilitate no-lift shifts as well as simplify driver controls. An AiM MXL Sports Dash keeps the driver informed of relevant data and allows the driver to make limited changes to the engine management system on the fly. Wilwood Dynalite aluminum calipers with custom cross-drilled rotors allow for excellent stopping power and Ohlin’s Double Barrel Dampers help get the car through the corners. All of these systems allow for a vehicle that has performance, innovation, reliability, and drivability.

This is achieved by low part count, careful packaging, and multifunction parts. Some defining examples are the use of a 3lbs spool type differential, direct mounted coil over dampers, 2 piece fully mechanical shifter, and a 2 piece spindless tulip in hub and upright rear wheel assembly. Our power plant, a K3 Suzuki GSXR-600, provides extremely reliable power. The car features a 3D printed intake with slide style throttle body to provide a very lightweight, fast manufacture solution with very high throttle response. This combined with a 4-1 single exhaust and a short final drive ratio produce useable power at any speed. Most of all, a huge thanks to everyone on the team this year, somehow surviving an extremely tight budget, a sudden school merger, wavering support, personal hardships, and mountains of politics and red tape, and still dedicated to learning, designing, and building an awesome racecar. Also a big thanks to all of our sponsors, friends, and families, we wouldn’t have made it without you. 26 25 Southern Polytechnic State University University of Saskatchewan Huskie Motorsports Huskie Motorsports proudly present their 2014 car, SX, named so as it is the 10th (X) vehicle built by the U of S. he chief focus of the design and construction of SX was to create a vehicle of consistent and reliable performance. To accomplish this, three ideologies were held to during all stages of work on SX. Testing: To ensure complete confidence in new designs, bench-testing of components and documenting test results was made a higher priority. As well, the build schedule of SX was made more aggressive. This allows completion the car sooner and gives road testing time far in excess of the 2 weeks of years past. Reusing: To ensure complete reliability with the relatively small team size and financial resources of Huskie Motorsports, it was decided to reuse a large number of components from the 2013 car, S9. Changes were implemented to remedy problems identified on S9, and functioning designs were retained. Driveability: The dynamic events of FSAE are a performance demonstration not unlike a time trial race, and racing has a human element that can affect results as much as the car. Therefore the design and tuning for SX held ease of consistent operation as a strong focus.

As a first year team at this competition, we strived to make our car in the most cost effective manner while not sacrificing the reliability or performance of it. As such, the car’s chassis is constructed from a standard steel tube space frame and is motivated by a Honda CRF450X single cylinder engine to balance both weight and power. In addition, the suspension has been designed to be fully adjustable so that the car’s characteristics can be modified during testing and compensate for understeer caused by our spool. Every component added to the car not only met specific performance requirements, but was also designed with ease of manufacturing in mind. We leveraged campus resources such as the waterjet table, CNC mill, and composite material labs to build a high quality final product. Altogether, the car represents a crowning moment not only for our program, but for UCLA as a whole. Considering this is the first time any team from UCLA has ever participated in a Formula SAE event, we are extremely proud to present the culmination of two years’ worth of hard work. 28 27 University of Calif - Los Angeles University of Calif - Berkeley UC Berkeley Formula SAE This year’s design focused on keeping the simple and lightweight concept used last year while increasing the car’s reliability and dynamic capabilities. B14’s suspension consists of a two direct-actuated shocks in the front and a single pushrod-actuated transverse monoshock with anti-roll bar in the rear. Hoosier LC0 10” tires were found to improve skid pad times by at least 0.75 s over the tires used on last year’s entry. B14’s powertrain is designed around the SA250, a 250cc, single cylinder four stroke kart engine. This engine was identified through lap simulation and ultimately chosen for low weight (35 lbs wet) and high stock output. Torque comes on to a peak of 19 ft-lbs and remains within 10% of peak from 7000-12500 RPM. Peak power is 44 HP at 12500 RPM. The small displacement of 250cc allows for stock peak power and torque to be maintained even after the addition of the restrictor. The use of custom carbon axles, metal flex disk CV joints, and a spool differential saved approximately 20 lbs over comparable off-the-shelf solutions.

With much effort placed into manufacturability and carrying through the motto ”ounces makes pounds”, the team was able to have the car competition ready on April 22nd along with an over 85 pound weight reduction. Thorough attention to detail within every system through the manufacturing phase led to a high-caliber finished product for such a young team. 31 30 University of North Texas California State University - Northridge Matador Motorsports The 2014 CSUN car features a well-integrated lightweight chassis, highly optimized suspension geometry, and a single unit turbo-engine-drivetrain package capable of delivering 58 lb-ft of torque to the wheels. An enormous effort was taken to lighten our vehicle’s unsprung mass, while ensuring that compliance was minimal throughout the harsh loading conditions. Our light-weight 10” carbon-fiber wheels allow us a higher natural unsprung frequency and a significant weight reduction in rotating-and-translating mass. Coupled with our analysis of tire data, the result is a car that can tackle any of the challenges that lay ahead at the track. We acknowledge the importance of downforce, but believe that heavy and expensive aero-packages do not fall within the needs of a weekend autocross racer. This philosophy has pushed us to develop a vehicle that can compete with the aero-giants in both Dynamic and Static events. We work hard and seek to be competitive with the top teams. Above all, we look forward to a weekend of racing and engineering. Formula SAE prepares us for the real world, and we are eager to meet the new generation of engineers who will be working with us in the future!

After learning a tremendous amount of car design last year, this year’s team has changed focus to designing a more reliable car with modularity and reduced weight. This year’s car brings a unique upright design along with an aluminum box to house the rear drivetrain. The team also incorporated a pushrod suspension system with an anti-roll bar. This car is the first iteration of its design for the Colorado School of Mines. With increased funding from last year and access to a CNC machine, the production quality has risen substantially for the car. The car is supplemented by a front and rear wing, triple element, aerodynamic package. Through CFD optimization the wings produce 140 lbf at 30 mph. The wings and body are constructed with carbon fiber for reduced weight. The 2014 team expects to improve greatly from last year. 33 32 Colorado School of Mines University of Southern California USC Racing USC Racing’s SCR14 race car ushers in a new era for the Southern Californian team. Boasting an all new aero package featuring front and rear wings, undertray, and redesigned body panels, the SCR14 represents a new dawn for the team. To complement their new composite work, the team has opted for a 600 cc Yamaha four cylinder engine to power the SCR14, as well as a redesigned suspension setup to maximize the tire performance. USC Racing has long been on the leading edge of electronic systems, and this year the team has included electronic traction and launch control, a customizable electronic steering wheel, and iPad-based data tracking for real-time diagnostics from the pits.

This year’s car is the largest step forward for the team in several years. The team focused on improving areas where the driver interacts with the car and many notable changes were made. For example, WHR14 features an entirely new space-frame chassis designed around greater driver comfort and integration with the other systems on the car. The cockpit is home to a custom steering wheel with integrated electronics as well as mechanical paddle shifters. Also new to WHR is outboard brakes in the rear for better balance and control. Other significant changes include the greatly increased downforce coming from our second year aerodynamic package which sports the addition of an undertray. A redesigned 3D printed intake manifold will give WHR14 better drivability on track through a flatter torque curve. 37 36 South Dakota State University University of New Mexico LOBOMotorSports LOBOMotorSports is back for the 2014 year with sights set on returning to a top finish. Operating as a three semester course and requiring a new team every year, a 17 person team designed, manufactured, and tested the newest vehicle from LOBOMotorSports: the LMS-14. LOBOMotorSport from the University of New Mexico launches the LMS-14, a racecar designed for the competitive weekend racer. The LMS-14 features a fully independent suspension system with cockpit adjustable front and rear anti-roll bars (ARB), a floating rotor brake system, steel space-frame chassis, a full carbon fiber aerodynamics package with hollow wing elements, and a two cylinder engine with continuously variable transmission (CVT) tied to a belt-driven torque biasing differential. The CVT operates in the peak torque band, improving lap times and reducing driver error by eliminating shifting. The LMS-14 is a 450lb racecar with a wheelbase of 64” and a track width of 50”.

It was designed to be a mid-range vehicle that would allow the weekend autocross runner to run a slightly more technologically advanced car than a shifter cart, while at the same time being less costly and difficult to work on as a Formula Ford. This turn key racing solution is much less complex compared to other FSAE Vehicles that employ aerodynamic systems, high-end manufacturing, and complex electronic systems. We like to keep it simple and put our time where it counts. This year we have adopted a single goal for our team to earn 675+ Points. The 2014 car goal was chosen to achieve the team goals; reliability, simplicity, performance, and (team) understanding. The Husker Mark III is an improvement over its predecessor in almost all aspects. Coming off the line at 420 lbs, the Husker Mark III has a 15% increase in brake horsepower, resulting in 90 bhp. Likewise the torque has increased to 60 ft-lb. The Husker Mark III will also employ more uniform, easier to design parts. The car will be built using common fasteners, simplistic pedal designs, and the use of widely available components for the shifter, springs, and differential. All of these improvements lead to the conclusion that this vehicle will be easy to maintain and operate. The team made major strides in understanding the vehicle suspension kinematics. The team created a lap time simulator for the skidpad, acceleration, and our standardized testing asymmetric oval map.

The designs for the 2014 car will focus on ease of manufacturing, and component longevity. We set an initial vehicle test date at five months in to the program which limited overall design time. The purpose of such a short design time was to focus on vehicle testing and driver training. Coming from Hawai’i we have limited access to vehicle test space. Fortunately our test time coincides with the final three autox races of the season. Testing at autox is our main goal to simulate and practice for the Lincoln competition. The 2014 car focuses on setting initial benchmarks in overall design and performance, then improving each year and building a lasting program at our school. 57 56 University of Hawaii - Manoa University of Arizona University of Arizona Formula SAE The University of Arizona Formula SAE team has produced it’s most advanced car in years.

We’ve returned to compete this year with more motivation, more speed, and a lot more carbon (with slightly less yellow). SR-6 incorporates the strong points of the lightening-fast SR-5, including electropneumatic paddle shifters, a powerful and reliable Honda F4i engine, and a dry sump system. To improve reliability, handling, and speed, we’ve added a Drexler differential, redesigned the chassis to significantly boost stiffness and enclose suspension components for drag reduction, and designed a three-element wing package for a high lift/drag ratio. SR-6 sets a new bar for us at Spartan Racing, and we are excited to share it with all of our friends here at FSAE Lincoln 2014. 69 68 San Jose State University University of Toledo Rocket Motorsports This year’s car, UTR-20, was built around simplicity and reliability while also taking on some new design features. Utilizing tyre consortium data as a starting point, UTR-20 features a rigid tubular chassis, an aero package, CBR600 F4i, and Penske shocks backed up with extensive durability testing. Serviceability and weight reduction were also considered with every component designed. With a large amount of time dedicate to testing and refining we hope to have an allaround reliable and fine-tuned car for competition.

A full aerodynamics package, 4-1 exhaust header with the new CBR600RR, 10 inch diameter Hoosier tires, and a new salisbury style differential are only the beginning of the big design list the team has taken on for 2014. Immediately following the 2013 Lincoln competition, the PBR team began the 5 month design process of the new PBR14 vehicle. The new aerodynamic and suspension components ate up design time but the team has buckled down to produce the team’s 5th CFRP monocoque for the PBR14 car featuring more engine access and cooling. 71 70 University of Manitoba University of Missouri Mizzou Racing Mizzou Racing is proud to introduce our 2014 entry into Formula SAE. Building on almost 30 years of Mizzou Formula SAE history, we have designed a car that champions reliability and drivability, while also embracing creativity and innovation, testing our engineering limits. Starting with the bullet-proof Honda CBR 600RR, we have produced a formidable power train that reliably produces a supply of relentless but controllable power. We also focused heavily on putting that power to use. The use of Hoosier tires demands that our suspension be highly optimized to squeeze out every last bit of performance, so a premium was placed on maintaining optimum camber angles, and reducing tire load fluctuation. To maximize lateral acceleration, our already impressive aerodynamics package was overhauled, and now produces an incredible amount of downforce, even at low speeds. To help reduce drag, and manage the massive aerodynamic loads, an active-aerodynamics system was developed to allow for a tunable aero-balance at any speed, with the ability to react dynamically to various different driving maneuvers, keeping us as close to the limit as possible at all times.

All vehicle systems targeted component mass and inertial characteristics while identifying component durability limits and maintaining ease of service. A simulation-based approach was used along with multiple forms of physical validation, including but not limited to integrated data acquisition, to select critical vehicle performance parameters in order to develop the selected vehicle concept. 73 72 University of Oklahoma University of Central Florida Knights Racing For 2014, Knights Racing competes with the most well rounded vehicle to come from UCF. The KR14 blends advanced technologies with successful and proven designs, with an overall focus on reliability. Beginning with the most noticeable, KR14 is the first car from the Knights’ stable to feature aerodynamics in the form of front and rear wings. Composites are widely implemented, notably in the intake, seat, wings, and bodywork. The KR14 continues to be powered by the GSX-R600 engine through Haltech electronics, breathing through a new top-fed intake and 4-1 exhaust that increases drivability and efficiency. A tubular 4130 space frame chassis and lightweight steel suspension arms create a stiff, well balanced vehicle. Packaging and serviceability were key design goals in the integration of systems with the chassis along with ergonomics and driver comfort. An adjustable pedal box with incremental points of adjustment comfortably suits drivers of many proportions, while the seat is designed to reduce pressure points and support the driver without being constricting. Other systems were designed with the overall goals of reliability, low mass, and ergonomics in mind.

A carbon fiber monocoque utilizing unidirectional fiber maintains sufficient stiffness while significantly reducing weight. The high downforce active aerodynamic package increases cornering capability while minimizing the effects of drag. The vehicle’s entire braking system is custom designed in house, allowing for component level optimization. The turbocharged single-cylinder engine is light, fuel efficient, and produces 75% of its peak torque across a very broad RPM range. Composite suspension links reduce mass significantly. Lastly, composite driveshafts and a lightweight differential allow for a mass efficient, tunable drivetrain. These features have created a race vehicle with a focus on scoring potential, performance, efficiency, and drivability, a winning combination for Formula SAE. 77 76 Rochester Institute of Technology Queen's University - Ontario Canada Queen's Formula SAE The Q14 represents the mid-cycle refresh of the 10th generation of Queen’s University vehicles. Improvements on the previous model were made with an integrated approach, using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to evaluate the most feasible and sound improvements. A broadened management structure ensured redundant oversight of vehicle systems, reinforcing sound design choices that fully considered constraints from the perspectives of all sections. The central project goals focused on auxiliary component development, addition of driver-centric elements, improved management portfolio, simplification of systems with resultant weight savings, and integration across vehicle systems through combined studies. The Q14 presents unique features such as a three-mode automated shifting system, aerodynamic undertray, and carbon fibre steering column.

An Endurance Event victory would mark success for 2014 season; by definition, a car successful in the Endurance Event is one that does not suffer in any other area of competition. The following design criteria were focused on: reliability, adjustability, and drivability. Dedication and improvement is highlighted through simulation and analytical methods used in the design of components. The ability to make quick adjustments to counteract dynamic circumstances during a race event was critical. The final component of Oakland University’s design philosophy was developed through hours of testing and racing; making GRX4 more drivable would also be necessary for the team’s Endurance Event victory. Previously, drivability has been overlooked due to difficulty in quantifying changes and their effect. Several key aspects were determined to have an impact on drivability: engine output, driver control response, and ergonomics.

A long list of ideas was formed then trimmed and reworked until our design philosophy for the 2014 car emerged. The three driving goals were to continue our weight reduction with a target of removing 50lbs from the previous car, finish the car by April 1 in order to test and validate designs, and design for serviceability so that anything that went wrong could be fixed. An evaluation of previous results showed that the team had a consistently solid showing in dynamic events which could be improved upon through simple elements. Fundamental to these elements was gaining a better understanding of what the car is doing and what actually matters in the design. To that end, we focused on maintaining designs that had proven themselves in previous years, fixing nagging issues with the design and production, and creating better simulations to study the effects of changes in the car. Our 2013 entry weighed 516lbs, down 10lbs from the 2012 car. Our goal for this year is to move the car down to the 460lb range to make it more competitive in acceleration and fuel economy. 83 82 Clemson University Purdue University - W Lafayette Purdue Formula SAE The 2014 team from Purdue University, West Lafayette put a large emphasis on sound engineering design and efficient manufacturing. Significant changes were made to the frame design to increase torsional rigidity while minimizing weight. Changes to the kinematics were made based on the switch to Hoosier tires and the associated findings from in-depth tire modeling. The Honda CBR600F4i engine was fitted with a dry sump oil system to improve oil supply, minimizing engine damage due to oil starvation. Improvements to the electronics system were also made, with an electro-mechanical shifter being implemented to allow shifting via paddles on the steering wheel. A full aerodynamic package consisting of a front wing, diffuser, rear wing, and sculpted bodywork was implemented to improve vehicle performance. The success of the Purdue FSAE team is not only due to the hard work and dedication of its members but also of the entire community that supports the team. A huge thank you goes out to Purdue University, our sponsors, our alumni, and the FSAE volunteers that make the events a success. A special thanks to our family and friends for their understanding, patience, and support this year.

The design of the 2014 formula car (F14) was achieved by focusing on the areas of the F13 that possessed the greatest potential for improvement in safety, reliability, and manufacturability while reducing weight, complexity, and cost. Every component of the F14 was modeled in SolidWorks allowing designers to notice any packaging issues and fix them prior to manufacturing. Assigning part numbers and maintaining an up to date bill of materials enabled the team to track the weight and complexity of designs based on component count. This significantly reduced the amount of time spent manufacturing and allowed for the team to focus more energy on testing and validation of designs.

Our team members come from all science disciplines including mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science and also physics and arts students. Despite our short history, we have been very successful. In 2012 we won the Formula SAE Electric Brazil and in 2013 we achieved our second national title and our first international championship: Formula SAE Electric 2013 in Lincoln, Nebraska. In that occasion, the team has broken the world record score, achieving 985 points of the 1000 that are possible. E213 E211 Universidade Estadual de Campinas University of Calif - Davis UC Davis Formula Racing UC Davis Formula Racing’s first electric formula car is designed as a capable and flexible platform for powertrain innovation through enabling research and implementation of an advanced torque vectoring and predictive traction control system. A National Instruments RIO device is used to implement the control and sensory system. Sensors include wheel speed, acceleration and yaw, steering angle, motor current, tractive voltage and battery current. Maximum torque vectoring effectiveness is realized through the application of a fully left/right independent electric powertrain. Each permanent-magnet synchronous Z-Force motor produces a peak of 40 kW and 68 ft-lbs of torque. Electrical energy is stored in a 6kWh pack composed of high-power LiIon-NCM pouch format cells. Energy is recaptured using regenerative deceleration and the accumulator is one-hour quick charging capable. For 2014, Unicamp E-Racing team focused on weight reduction and reliability. To meet these goals we used carbon fiber, kevlar and aluminum components and also reduced from 13” to 10” wheels, for example. The result is a much smaller, lightweight, reliable and fast car. We would like to thank our university, UNICAMP, and also all our sponsors for the great support they’ve given to us.

It is widely accepted that a simple design will achieve more points consistently. Using the simplicity first model allows our team to better understand the vehicle design and allows educated decisions to be made. E222 E221 Portland State University University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign Illini Formula Electric The goal of Illini Formula Electric for the 2014 season is to increase reliability and while decreasing cost. This philosophy manifests itself in every subsystem of the car. The main focus is placed on modifying last year’s design so as to reuse any vital components, allowing us to focus our funds on improving electronics. This year, a brand new state of the art motor, the YASA 400, was chosen for use in our car. This motor greatly increased the power output of our car while also reducing weight and complexity. This paired with our purpose built motor controller formed the heart of the car. The batteries were redesigned to be decrease complexity and work optimally with our new motor. Mechanically, the largest We opted to build our own BMS system to interface with existing battery manage- improvement was using a new drivetrain that features a simplified system with no gearbox, taking advantage of the large rpm range of our motor. Minor modificament slave Modules (RLEC) on the batteries. To create the master controller tions were made to the chassis and suspension for tune and optimize the car. (MLEC) of our system we are using an mbed NXP LPC1768 microprocessor to emulate the MLEC. The MLEC communicates with six Enerdel RLEC modules over CANBus. Every subsystem on the car follows the same process of defining a problem, researching, brainstorming, engineering, insight into how to better solve the problem in the future, and validation of assumptions and performance of the system or part. The motor we are using Remy HVH250 HT motor. The motor is operated by a RMS PM100 motor controller. The motor has software onboard that varies the voltage supply to the motor based on input directly from the motor, as well as CAN messages from the vehicle control unit.

The team has competed in FSAE events previously, however this is the first attempt at competing in the FSAE electric competition. For this reason, a completely new design had to be used in order to build this competition car. The goals for this new design was to create a car that had a short manufacturing time, an even weight distribution, and as low of a cost as possible while still remaining competitive. Design Goals Manufacturability: The car must be easy to manufacture in order to allow for a short fabrication length and a longer testing time period. Weight Distribution: The weight distribution from front to back must be as even as possible. The goal was a 50-50 weight distribution, and we achieved a 55(Rear)45(Front) weight bias Cost Effective: The total cost of the car must be kept affordable on our given budget, while keeping performance at a competitive level.
